It seems like they were on the path to a really great product, but failed due to choosing a poor quality supplier.
Pricing wasn’t the issue, the power bank’s lightness compared to its power capacity was the big attraction. The crappy version may be crappy, but it also demonstrates proof-of-concept that Backpackers really want it, and would probably be willing to pay a higher price for a reliable, high-quality version. Haribo needs to find a better quality supplier, get the product made correctly, and charge a reasonable price for it.

Why are Haribo even doing this don’t they make sweets (candy)?
This is just vendor swag that someone realized could be a whole product line
